The star has given the full amount of his £25k Mercury Prize cash to the trust for venues, which operates to protect the UK's independent concert spaces.
Fender was given the prize on 16 October as his new release the album was named the top album of the last 12 months.
Fender has chosen to donate the funds to the trust, in acknowledgment of the essential function local spots fulfilled in his early career.
"As an artist wouldn't be doing this success if it wasn't for all the gigs I performed around the region, and elsewhere, when I was beginning," remarked Fender. "These venues are renowned, but they are facing challenges."
From early 2023 onward, more than 150 of these spaces have permanently closed – roughly 16% of the whole industry in the UK.
In the last year, well-known musicians such as the band Pulp, the group Coldplay, Katy Perry and Ed Sheeran have all aided the MVT in its initiatives to keep the scene afloat, by applying a small levy to their ticket prices, which benefits independent venues.
Sam Fender also participated, collecting in excess of £100,000 on his recent tour to help thirty-eight local spots across England, Scotland, and Wales.
These funds supported spaces that were facing potential shutdown due to difficulties stemming from floods, fire incidents and bereavements, as well as permit problems, court cases and neighbor objections.
Other venues were granted monetary aid in upgrading facilities and sound and lighting systems that helped musicians and audiences.
"The concept that funds from concerts in big venues helps the independent spots, where it all starts for musicians like me, is just sensible," Sam Fender has stated.
He is far from the only musician to contribute his honor funds to good deeds.
In they won the trophy in 1996 for their record Different Class, vocalist Cocker declared that the group would contribute their cash to the organization the charity.
In 2002, rapper and singer she split her prize across a few organizations, including the NSPCC and a Sickle Cell organization.
"I also gave a grand to Highgate Newtown, to their gymnastics class, because I practiced gymnastics when I was younger and they needed updated gear," the artist explained to the media.
In recent years, the band donated their winnings to the community center that developed their act, alongside other grassroots music organisations.
And 1994 winners they contributed their award to a MS organization after a friend was identified with the illness.
"The victory was sufficient," said vocalist the singer. "The prize was the extra but we could do without the bonus, because we had the main prize. So our victory impacted another person's life."
In the past week, the Music Venues Trust announced it had saved two local spots in the South East, by transferring them to public stewardship.
The first in that area and The Croft in the city were acquired under the public acquisition scheme, which is supported by a national body and supporters who buy "shares" in the venues.
